Norham St. Cuthbert's Burial Register - Click for bigger imageThis entry, extracted from the Norham parish burial register, which included Duddo, refers to Isabel Thompson. Isabel was buried on the 16th April 1715. When a person is buried an entry is made in the burial register. Of particular interest are the burial registers of the period 1798-1812. These are known as Bishop Barrington registers. Shute Barrington, Bishop of Durham, ordered that additional information should be recorded, for example, a person's age and occupation when they died. Burial registers of Norham parish are deposited with Northumberland Archives Service.
